Mamma Mia on Allure was my favorite, followed very closely by Hairspray on Symphony. Haven't been on Harmony to see Grease, but loved it on Independence. Cats...meh.

I got off Radiance this morning. Can confirm a bank of 6 Dragon Links, 4 More Puffs, 1 1-line Double Top Dollar, 1 9-line Pinball, and 3 Buffalo Ascensions (I did very well on this by the way. There are also 2 Buffalo Gold Collections) All were multi-denom except Ascension

Sounds mixed based on these replies, I can say at least on last week's Mariner (9/1-9/9) we were interested in this. My mother went to Guest Services Day 2 to inquire about it, and they said this didn't exist. The next morning, Day 3, there was a wash/fold $34.99 bag and flier in our room.

Don’t know when he started but Captain Panos has taken over and is the Captain currently on this sailing on Mariner

Thanks! I’m just happy to be going at all, can’t wait 🙂.

Got an email our itinerary for Mariner this coming Friday has changed due to Hurricane Idalia. Originally was starting with the trek to Bermuda, back down to Nassau and CocoCay. New: Day 1 - Port Canaveral Day 2 - Nassau Day 3 - CocoCay Day 4 - Sea Day Day 5 - Bermuda (PM) Day 6 - Bermuda (AM) Day 7 - Sea Day Day 8 - Sea Day Day 9 - Port Canaveral

I don't have as many years under my belt as a lot of longtime cruisers on here, but I really miss the roasted garlic soup that was on the MDR menu up until a few years back.

Glad to hear you are enjoying! My mother and I had a wonderful week 3 weeks back on the Meraviglia and agreed, couldn't find a majority of the issues that have been expressed! Not to say they didn't happen, but minus sporadic small hiccups here and there, had a fantastic week. Enjoy the rest!

Mike Witte was on Brilliance 12/15-19, no additional time info, sorry!

You won't likely find $5 tables anymore...Symphony last month for BJ - Single Deck $10min, standard BJ $15

Symphony 11/12-19

Last week on Symphony, there was a 70s night, no 80s.

Lobster night was my final night in MDR - I settled for Windjammer on the final night. Just finished my survey and definitely stated my opinion. The whole menu thing clearly didn't ruin my cruise, but it was an asterisk on what was overall a very enjoyable week aboard Symphony. I'd even settle for a tiered charge, I understand the need to curb abuse and know it's pricey. Something like $5 for a second and then $16.99 beyond even sounds reasonable, I just wanted a second with how small they still were. I did peek ahead in the app and saw the menu was sticking around at least this current cruise, so it'll be interesting to see if there's any tweaks yet

Clo has taken over on Symphony

Lobster was vey tasty! Was just trying to savor every bite as I knew it was my only one. Didn’t see anyone upcharge a second, or order steak or another entree with it. Sorry! I also wasn’t paying too much attention to others though so not claiming any credibility there! Service was good, by no means awful. No qualms with service at all but jeez I would have still loved that second lobster tail and yes feedback will be provided. I know the service team is understaffed and overworked and I hope nobody took this negative change out on them.

Sorry, I’m back! I skipped MDR the last two nights hence my disappearance. Was just not hungry the other night and nothing on the menu last night jumped at me but as promised I was going to lobster night and here we go! French Onion soup, shrimp cocktail, lobster and warm chocolate cake. The lobster was good, but yeah I definitely would have liked a second. Oh well, enjoyed it anyway!

Night 3. I gotta say the shrimp pasta was very good, I think that’s new. Also had the chocolate custard, sorry photo came out super blurry, nothing special but nothing terrible either.

Night 2

Will do, at the latest when I get home! I take pics of everything MDR every time so I’ve got you covered! I didn’t come night 1 so there will be a gap there. Also worth noting and unrelated LOL, Starlink is active for Wi-Fi

I’m onboard now, actually scanning this as I sit in the MDR as we speak LOL. Will report back on lobster. I do miss my near nightly app combo of shrimp cocktail and French onion, I will say that.

Thanks for the replies!

Hello fellow cruisers. QQ - Do you pay for parking at PortMiami's Terminal A before the cruise or after? Symphony in 13 days, cannot wait!
